No wonder the contrast ratio "is" lower on the Glo when the Kindle has a much lower minimum setting on the light. They should have meassured them on equal terms, they should have adjusted the light on the Kindle to match the Kobo's higher minimum setting but no, the cheated... oh, yes they did, see animated gif below.



So, I don't trust the reviewer or the review because of this, oh, and there's also no info on the tools used to measure the alleged contrast ratio, no info on font weight etc... etc.
